With a voracious craving for delicious bakery treats, we paid a visit to Ginger Snaps. Sadly, no cookies, but what a dish! Yeowwr! That Ginger, she can be a bit of an animal...well, maybe all animal, but now we’re just putting the horse before the cart or at least the lycanthrope before the bouquet of decorative flowers.

Ginger Snaps opens with the death-obsessed Fitzgerald girls, Ginger and her younger sister Bridgette. The girls harbor a propensity for staging their own deaths for show-and-tell (which was cool). However, through the gnarled and twisted hand of fate, Ginger snaps after being mauled...mauled in the sense of dog-with-its-favorite-chew-toy mauled.

So, in getting to the meat, Ginger Snaps teaches us that a silver belly ring does not cure lycanthropy (a van does); common, every day wolfs bane is available at your local crafts store; when in doubt of appropriate cures, consult a reputable drug dealer; field hockey chicks kick ass; dead dog intestines look strangely like link sausages; and you can’t beat a woman with several teats, and we do mean several.

When asked if we would rather watch Ginger Snaps again— mmmmm—Ginger.
